We’ll be hosting free drop-in drawing inspired by Coate, and showing artworks produced in our recent outdoor art workshop with Rachelheardart!

Art on Tour

Get out your best china, plump up the cushions, and vacuum the living room - we’re coming to yours for tea! And we’re bringing our nationally significant modern art collection with us! Just for you! From L.S Lowry to Lucian Freud, and Grayson Perry to Henry Moore, we’re proud to be using our Art on Tour programme to bring our awesome art collection to more people in more places.

Launched in late 2019, Art on Tour was originally conceived as a Swindon-wide outreach programme, with an extensive schools learning offer, community engagement events, and an off-site exhibitions programme. Sadly, like everyone else, we have recently needed to consider alternative ways to engage communities and have put our previous plans on-hold. BUT, we are not to be deterred in our mission to bring the Swindon Art Collection to all four corners of the globe! We have flexed our creative muscles and GONE DIGITAL! This means that you can explore and engage with the Collection, and get involved, from the comfort of your own sofa! Make use of our daily Art Burst children’s resources to keep little hands and minds occupied! Use our daily Art Challenges to entertain all the family! Be amazed by our Art Snap podcasts - the best that art history has to offer, in a nutshell! Explore our inspiring online galleries! Be part of the conversation with our Art on Tour blog! Get involved by creating your own masterpieces and see them displayed in our virtual gallery! Join the Art on Tour tribe on social media and get your daily dose of all things art!

Thanks for the tea! Cakes are on us!
